High Sheriff of South Glamorgan 2022-23

I was approached in early 2019, by the High Sheriff of South Glamorgan 2018–19 to ask if I was prepared to take on the role of High Sheriff of South Glamorgan in 2022-23, having been nominated by his nominations panel. I accepted the role;

The High Sheriff is an independent, voluntary, non-political, Royal appointment for a single year and involves a mix of Ceremonial, Judicial, Charitable and Community functions.
